Project team members enter their time sheets into a system that also displays incurred project cost. Which of the following systems can perform this task?
A. EDRMS
B. CRM
C. CMS
D. ERP
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system integrates business functions such as time entry, project accounting, cost tracking, finance, and resource management. It can accept project team timesheets and display incurred project costs. EDRMS manages documents and records, CRM manages customer relationships, and CMS manages content, not integrated project cost accounting.
Question 12
A project manager is reviewing sprint performance in a retrospective meeting. Given the following chart:
Which of the following sprints shows the highest velocity?
A. Sprint 1
B. Sprint 2
C. Sprint 3
D. Sprint 4
E. Sprint 5
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Velocity is the total story points completed in a sprint. Based on the provided context, Sprint 1 is indicated as having the highest completed work and therefore the highest velocity.
Question 13
There is an important security patch that must be applied to the operating system used by the project team. Which of the following is the best risk management strategy to apply in this instance?
A. Accept the risk because it is beyond the control of the project manager and team.
B. Avoid the risk by using different operating systems for the remainder of the project.
C. Mitigate the risk by scheduling the update outside of working hours.
D. Exploit the risk by incorporating the anticipated modifications into the plan.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Applying a required security patch reduces the likelihood or impact of security issues, which is a risk mitigation strategy. Scheduling the update outside working hours minimizes disruption to the project while addressing the risk. Accepting leaves the risk untreated, avoiding by changing operating systems is impractical and unnecessary, and exploit is a strategy for positive risks (opportunities), not threats.
Question 14
The PMO wants to streamline the routing and approval of project activities to provide up-to-date visibility of the status. Which of the following collaboration tools would be most appropriate to use?
A. Real-time, multi-authoring tool
B. Wiki knowledge base and search engine
C. Workflow and e-signature platform
D. File-sharing platform and storage system
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: A workflow and e-signature platform is designed to automate routing, approvals, and status tracking, providing up-to-date visibility into where activities are in the approval process. The other options support collaboration, knowledge sharing, or file storage but do not primarily manage approval workflows.
Question 15
A project manager is running a DevOps project in two-week sprints. Given the following information:
Which of the following is the number of issues logged during the second sprint?
A. 6
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: With two-week sprints interpreted as 14-day iterations, the second sprint covers days 15–28. Based on the issue counts described, the total issues logged in that interval are 3 + 4 + 2 = 9.
Question 16
Which of the following situations would require a project manager to revise the communication plan during a project's execution?
A. A change is approved that impacts the project schedule and budget.
B. The test results are not as expected.
C. The team is unclear which meetings they should attend.
D. A stakeholder requests some changes to the scope.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: The communications management plan defines communication methods, meeting requirements, and who receives what information. If the team is unclear about which meetings they should attend, the communication approach is not working and the communication plan should be updated. The other situations may require updates to other project management documents or baselines, but they do not by themselves require revising the communication plan.
Question 17
During the planning phase, a project manager decides to introduce a new enterprise portal toot, which has been approved by the PMO. Which of the following should be the project manager's next step?
A. Create a transition plan.
B. Add training to the schedule.
C. Update the project charter
D. Involve the CCB.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Because the enterprise portal tool has already been approved by the PMO during planning, the project manager should incorporate the implementation into the project plans. The most immediate practical step is to add the necessary training activities to the project schedule so the team can effectively use the new tool. Updating the project charter is inappropriate because the charter is not typically revised for this type of planning decision, a transition plan relates to handoff at implementation/closure, and involving the CCB is unnecessary if the change has already been approved.
Question 18
A team member needs to make an emergency update. The team member is unable to return to the office. Which of the following is the most secure way to make the update?
A. At home, using home internet and the company’s computer
B. At a coffee shop, using free Wi-Fi and the corporate computer
C. At home, using home internet and the corporate virtual private network
D. Anywhere the team member would like, using a mobile device and mobile internet
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Using the corporate virtual private network (VPN) over a trusted home internet connection provides encrypted access to company resources and is the most secure option listed. Home internet without a VPN lacks the added protection for corporate access, public Wi-Fi is inherently riskier, and using a mobile device from anywhere is not as secure or controlled as using the corporate computer with the corporate VPN.
Question 19
A highly scored negative causes a risk trigger, but the issue has not started yet. Which of the following is the next step the project team should take?
A. Execute the contingency plan.
B. Perform a work-around.
C. Escalate to senior management.
D. Assign a risk owner.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A risk trigger indicates conditions suggesting a risk may occur, but if the risk has not yet materialized, it remains a risk rather than an issue. A contingency plan is executed when the risk event occurs, and a workaround is used for issues that have already happened. Escalation is only appropriate if required by authority or thresholds. The appropriate next step is to ensure a risk owner is assigned to monitor the trigger, track the risk, and implement the response if the risk occurs.
Question 20
Which of the following is a disadvantage of a cloud model?
A. Limited processing and storage capacity
B. Limited expansion capability
C. Longer latency time
D. Higher dependency on the vendor
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A common disadvantage of cloud computing is vendor dependency (vendor lock-in and reliance on the provider's availability and services). Cloud platforms generally offer scalable processing and storage, so A and B are not typical disadvantages. While latency can be higher than local systems in some cases, it is not an inherent disadvantage of the cloud model in the same general sense as vendor dependency.
